Arleen and Byron got married in January of 2006 in Yosemite National Park. They were lucky beyond belief, the weather was perfect. The day BEFORE the wedding, it snowed. The roads closed, nothing happened. The day of the wedding, it was sunny and almost warm. The roads were open, but there was still a wonderful carpet of snow on everything!

Their wedding ceremony was below Bridal Veil Falls. Their wedding reception was at Yosemite Lodge. The photos were taken all over the valley.

Sasha and mark got married a few days before Christmas in 2007.

I’ve often thought of their wedding because of one specific moment. They had requested that all of the family formals and wedding party formals happen before the ceremony. Most couples don’t do it this way, as it means they have to see each other before the wedding, but some like it because it means not keeping your guests waiting after the ceremony. Either way works for me.

We had been shooting for a while, we were done with the family formals, and done with the wedding party shots, just down to the bride and groom. I take a few shots, and looking for something different, I suggest, “why don’t you kiss.” They reply, “no, we can’t kiss, we aren’t married yet.”

I’ve heard of couples waiting until they were married. I’ve even had couples tell me they had done so. This was (and remains) unique; A couple who hadn’t kissed because they were not yet married.

Infrared wedding photo from the Oakland LDS temple

Infrared wedding photos from the Oakland Mormon Temple

When people get married at the Mormon Temple (or LDS Temple. Feel free to tell me in comments which is better) the temple itself is an important feature in the photographs. I love shooting there. As a photographer, I appreciate the scale, the lines, and the tones.

I’ve shot there many times, (here is another LDS wedding that made it to my blog) but this past week was my first time there with my infrared converted digital camera. It was a nice sunny day, which enhanced the effect.

Melissa and Kris got married in 2006 at the Rios-Lovell Winery in Livermore California. It was a pretty day with a beautiful sunset. The wine country of Livermore, with it’s hills and orchards, is a wonderful place for a wedding.

Infrared bridal formal photo in front of the Fairmont Hotel In San Jose.

I thought I’d combine my new love of experimenting with infrared with my old love of wedding photography.

This photo was taken in the park in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. On a busy Saturday, the park was full of people, and really not the most romantic place. A great place for people watching, but not the best place for bridal shots. However, the infrared really transforms the scene. It becomes a magical land with romance and mystery, the crowd of Saturday tourists fading into the background.
